There have been instances, including in the State Dept., of translators wilfully mistranslating or not translating, however. It's something worth noting.

There needs to be a housecleaning there. And these people are nuts if they think they're doing peaceful Muslims any favors. What they're doing is like somebody nice-ifying Mein Kampf so that you can't tell the difference between it and something written by Rush Limbaugh or Jimmy Carter.

Remember two/three years ago articles on FR about Jewish translaters not hired by the fedgov? Jews who knew Arabic? I think the reasoning (sic) was that the Arab/Muslim translators wouldn't get along with them.

I was sick when I read that. I think it's FUBAR. Too much poison/crap/treason in the gov.
